^Why do you call G&W 'Gdubs'?

W is pronounced Double u...

 

[-LzR-]

Gdubs is still a very dumb name.

 

[Alphicans]

People in my region call him that too. Never thought anything of it.

Shortest way of saying it verbally

 

[Zano]

I thought it was cause he was only good in doubles

 

[SFA Smiley]

Lol.

He has to be good if he's in High tier.

Fox, Peach and Robotic Operational Buddy are pretty good despite being in Mid tier.

 

[SFA Smiley]

I believe GW, Fox, Peach, and Wolf are all around the same level. GW just has **** CPs which puts him a bit over the others.

I also believe GW is good. But just good. That's not a bad thing, though. I like that my favorite character is actually good. I could have been unfortunate enough to have my favorite character be Link or Samus.

 

[Rizen]

G&W does better all around than the others. As mentioned he has some great CPs but also he can work with every stage. Wolf on Frigate or RC is in a bad situation, Peach on big stages vs good long range campers, IDK how Fox does, etc. Not being CGed is a great trait too. Some stages are almost auto losses vs CGer for characters who are vulnerable. G&W having no really bad stages is an advantage in stage CPing. G&W doesn't have any devastating weaknesses like most characters. He has his weaker areas and MUs but nothing like DDD vs DK.

Spoiler: Doesn't look like that's gonna be the case for long

It won't if you guys don't get working.

random scrub and watch video of the day

 

[-LzR-]

Damn wtf was that. Must have been a dumb way to lose.

How did you survive that?

 

[Zano]

he tech'd the wall

 

[Sylarius]

That's what I thought but I didn't know you could do it underwater. o.O

 

[-LzR-]

It's really uncommon to tech spikes underwater for some reason. I find it really hard to do myself. It would have saved so many dumb stocks.

 

[Zano]

That's why penta da bess.


except he sucks

 

[Deleted member 189823]

wait wat
It didn't even look like a link.

I played a scrub DDD, the lag was ridiculous. I won and offered to cancel because the lag but he said it's okay. He beat my Zelda on Halberd. I was a stock ahead on Brin and lag SDed at 13% with G&W. SDed at 13% with G&W on Brin. And lost.
I am very salty ATM.

 

[-Ominous-]

I hate playing online...usually. I mean, I've had it where the lag was so bad that when I would upb, it would do judgement right after, and I'd fall and die.

But I've also gotten multi-jab>Usmash, which isn't really possible off of wifi.

This happened to me offline. On Brinstar we both had 1 stock left, he had 130% and I had 9%. I saw a position to dsmash OoS so I slammed the Cstick down after shielding his move and then the shieldpush pushed me off the stage and BOOM DAIR and ofc I couldn't react to slowfall and the acid trolled me big time. This was also a tourney match. Soo much salt.

 

[SFA Smiley]

I think i've mentioned it but i'm legendary at suiciding. I do it so much my scene has named sd's after me "Zee-cides" (my name is Zee.)

I've done it at many a pivotal moment too. Like when I get the lead or the other person is literally falling to their doom and I somehow manage to dair myself and die a second before they do.

I've pretty much accepted that I play most matches with a stock deficit because I kill myself so much. At our last round robin (a smaller one) I only lost 2 matches. one of them was to a player i'm much better than and it lasted literally 50 seconds.

My SDs, bro... they're just too good. I wanna upload it when I get the chance because it's so terrible XD

 

[overgamer]

G&W SD compilation, go!

 

[UTDZac]

G&W SD compilation, go!

Done.

[SFA Smiley]

Done.

[yt]pWHT25VtW9c[/yt]

wow lol

You know, I never quite understood why 'exactly' that stage was banned, but now I see. That left boundary is hella close...

 

[Zano]

that was, wow....

 

[PentaSalia]

Zac......no, just no lmao

 

[Sylarius]

Made me laugh.

 

[Triforce Of Chozo]

Who was that, MJG + Domo? TL's okie-doke 2gud

 

[SFA Smiley]

**** japan.

 

[Deleted member 189823]

Hey, happyface. How reliable of a killer is a fresh OoS Short Hopped F-Air? I remember you saying that most of your kills consist of that instead of smashes since they're useless against players who know gaw.

 

[Patches]

I find it kinda reliable if it's a mix up. If people are going to predict it, you'll just get punished

 

[Rizen]

Fair's great for offstage intercepting. I find Bair a good move to stage-spike bad/vertical recoveries it's disjointed, stays out for a long time with several hits and launches at a good angle to bounce characters off the stage bottom. You can guide G&W and the opponent under the ledge slightly during the weak hits to be more effective. I spiked a DDD that way; it felt gooood.

Charades time! Guess which character I'm using by the (GameCube controller) button inputs (only attacks. Jumps, dodges, and movement are not part of this):
Start!
B

Uair

Also I'm going to put up some friendlies for critique as soon as they're recorded o.O so... yeah. lol

EDIT:
How about.

[Rizen]

^DK.

So I've played several huge lag abuser G&Ws on the ladder, the kind of lag where they can run up and Fsmash before I can shield. It's super cheap.
How can I do that? For some reason my G&W actually suffers slightly in bad lag. I don't know his lag metagame at all.
In bad lag:
Link gets massacred and SDs a lot.
Wolf can be a d*** with blaster and smash spamming and the occasional air attack, offstage and recovery games suck.
Zelda can Din's and smash troll while playing a passive game. Precision and recovery suck.
^some characters like Snake null these lag boosts and the MU's even worse. Higher tiers generally deal with lag better.
G&W- ?


This one's easy:
DownB

I take that back. Its matchup specific.

I dont really know anymore... I have 2 locals and a regional in tge next 2 weeks. I pay attention and tell you what I kill with most

 

[SFA Smiley]

Not short hopped though. Full hopped.
